One of my professors was named Miles Davis. It seems his father was a studio musician who had worked with THE Miles Davis and considered him a good man as well as a good musician. It must have worked, because the Dr. Davis I know is an exceptional individual who has spent most of his adult life building up the character and education of others.     

And my sister Aleta is named after Queen Aleta in the Prince Valiant comic strip.
